DOTTSS BOSPHORUS

PHD SUMMER SCHOOL

Dottss 2021 Professors and Participants

Doctoral and Teacher-Training Translation Studies Summer School (DOTTSS) is a joint initiative of 5 different universities: University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Turku (Finland), University of Tampere (Finland), University of Granada (Spain) and Boğaziçi University (Turkey). Since 2012 the summer school has hosted doctoral students of TS and teachers of translators and interpreters from all around the world. The first two schools were held in Piran, Slovenia (Emuni 2012, Stridon 2013), the third was in Granada, Spain (Ibn Tibbon 2014), the fourth in Turku, Finland (Agricola 2015), the fifth in Piran, Slovenia (Stridon 2016), the sixth in Granada, Spain (Ibn Tibbon 2017), the seventh in Tampere, Finland (DOTTSS 2018), and the eighth in Ljubljana, Slovenia (Stridon 2019). The ninth summer school will be held in Istanbul, Turkey (Bosphorus 2021). The local organizers add to DOTTSS a name that connects the summer school to a particular translational tradition in the region: the name of the school in Turkey foregrounds the position of Istanbul as a “translational city”, connecting as well as separating continents, cultures and traditions.
